Icon Along with other Porsche basic elements - such as colors, typography and the Porsche marque - icons are core components of the Porsche design. The clear graphic symbols allow quick orientation and are internationally recognized. The Porsche Design System is using an SVG icon system (integrated by <img/>) to visually present an icon object. Each icon is hosted on the Porsche Design System CDN to be served and cached as fast as possible.

It's most often used on the <html> tag to set the entire page's direction, which is crucial for supporting languages that are written from right to left (RTL), such as Arabic and Hebrew. For example, using <html dir="rtl"> makes the entire page display from right to left, adjusting the layout and text flow accordingly.LTR (left-to-right)RTL (right-to-left)Text ZoomTo ensure accessibility and comply with WCAG 2.2 AA standards, it is mandatory for web content to support text resizing up to at least 200% without loss of content or functionality. Using relative units like rem is a best practice for achieving this, as they allow the text to scale uniformly based on the user's browser settings.100%130%150%200%
